Gamer Storm's new heatsink wants to Assassin-ate your heat problems

Following in the current trend of trying to give your newest heatsink a bizarre name comes the Gamer Storm Assassin, a 5.7" x 6.1" x 6.3" (144 x 154 x 160 mm) dual tower heatsink. The cooler comes with a pair of mismatched fans, a 120mm fan for use on one of the sides of the tower and a 140mm for use in between the towers. That does not seem to have hurt performance at all, Hardware Secrets tests show it to not only be an effective cooler but also one that does not generate excessive noise. It will fit both AMD and Intel sockets, so whichever you are using you might want to ignore the name and consider this cooler for your system.

"The Assassin is the first CPU cooler from Gamer Storm, a brand of cooling products from Logisys/Deepcool, aimed at gamers. This huge cooler has two twin tower heatsinks, eight heatpipes, one 120 mm fan and one 140 mm fan. We already reviewed the Dracula VGA cooler from this brand."

Frankly, with the size and heat and fragility of current and upcoming components (especially CPUs and GPUs), air-cooling seems less reasonable every cycle. Especially if even remotely considering overclocking.
